VHS tape provided education on Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- VHS tapes of college basketball games that were mailed in packages to Melbourne, Australia, from the United States in the early 1990s introduced David Patrick to University of Arkansas basketball.

At the time, Patrick was playing for the Melbourne Tigers junior club team, whose alums included Andrew Gaze.

Gaze went to the United States for college and became a standout player for Seton Hall, a small Catholic school in South Orange, N.J., that played in the Big East. During his senior season, Seton Hall advanced to the 1989 Final Four, where the Pirates lost to Michigan 80-79 in overtime in the NCAA Tournament championship game.
